New chemical containment concept

Balmoral Chemical Tanks, of Aberdeen in Scotland, has launched a range of integrated bunded Total Containment Systems (TCS) designed to store chemicals and other fluids. The tanks, which are easily transported and lifted, range in size from 1500-5000 litres and can be used to store fluids up to 1.9 specific gravity. Rotationally moulded in high quality polyethylene, the inner tank is a one-piece, heavy duty vessel contained within a seamless outer unit designed to hold 110% of inner tank capacity. All operational parts are easily reached through a hinged hatch, which also allows for simple visual inspection. The hatch is lockable, preventing unauthorised tampering, vandalism and theft.

According to the company, one of the major benefits of the TCS is the 'full' bund, that is designed to contain high level leaks in the unlikely event of a malfunction, such as jetting pipework.
